LAWYER Stuart has introduced a bill in
the Colorado legislature which contains
some excellent provisions regarding cleo
tons and primaries. 1t does not provide
for personal registration, but its regula-
tons are so strict that fraudulent voting
will be almost an impossibility if the bill
shall become a law.
The bill provides that every person
offering to vote shall subscribe and swear
to an affidavit setting forth all the qualifi-
cations required to entitle him to vote.
The penalties are severe tor any false
statement in such affidavit. No registra-
ton whatever is required, and voters are
relieved from the annoyance incident to
the present system of registration. None
Of the other provisions Of the election law
are changed, and challenges are allowed
as formerly. and all of the penalties for
bribery, for fraudulent voting and for false
swearing remain.
The best provision of the bill, and that
which will do more to purify elections
than all of the others, is the limiting of
voting precincts to $50 voters in each pre-
cinct. All writers on the best methods
for purifying elections agree hat the best
one, under our system. is to multiply the
voting precincts to such an extent that
the Judges of election may know every
voter in the precinct, and that every voter
may, by a little diligence, know every
other voter in his precinct.
Of course such a provision increases the
expenses OF election on election day, but
this extra cost is more than four times
saved by doing away with registration,
and purity of election is much better as.
sured.
All of the provisions governing general
elections are applied to primary elections,
with the additional qualification to con-
stitute a person a legal voter, hat he
shall take an oath that he belongs to the
political organization holding the primary
election.

BEGINNING HIS LITERARY CAREER.

Boyhood of a Novelist and Es-ayist-An
Ardor That Was Never Cooled.
George Parsons Lathrop. the novelist
and essayist, began his literary career in
a manner quite peculiar. He was a mere
STRIPPING, and was staying with his
mother and brother at Dresden, he to
study the language and literature of
Goethe and his brother to study art.
The two boys were devotedly attached to
their widowed mother, and in fact their
affection and admiration for her was
such that they would not undertake any
thing without her approval. George had
been detected by her at odd times in the
throes of composition, and knowing well
how i~nadequately the muses. as a rule re-
ward their devotees, so far as hard coin
is concerned at least, Mrs. Lathrop felt
troubled about the apparent literary pro-
clivities of her son. She noticed the
thirst for fame growing apace in George,
n decided to see for herself at least
whether it was worth while for him to
consum the midnight oil to this alarm
ing extent. She went to his room dur
ing a temporary absence and softly alb
stracted a few of the rolls of manuscript
she found h~ttering the desk and drawers.
She read them and felt puzzled. The
matter in her Judgment was excellent.
Still, she would not trust a mothers
blindness and Partially.
So she consulted Col. John X. Leslie,
an American gentleman at that time re-
siding i'll Dresden, telling him to give
her his candid and unbiased opinion as to
the merit of what her son George had
been ''scribbling." Col. Leslie read it.
He returned it to Mrs. Lathrop a few
days later, saying: LET him scribble!
He'll do!' And Mrs. Lathrop no longer
attempted to quench the literary spark in
her sons soul, just then bursting forth.
She left him to pursue the thorny path
Of literature.
With characteristic zeal and persever-
ance young Lathrop set to work as soon
as freed from the restraints of maternal
Interference. The paper fairly shrieked
under his merciless and unsparing at
tacks. Manuscript copy flew out by the
ream from under his hand, and at one
fell blow he deluged the sanctum of
every magazine and a number OF the
leading literary journals then published
in these United States. 1t would be too
much to say that his success az "a writer
was immediate or the reception accorded
him by the editorial management over
whelming. If anything this reception
was perhaps a trifle too frigid. But
nothing cooled the ardor of the young
hterateur. He had the satisfaction of
seeing n or two out of his score of
frstlings in print within a month, and
from that hour on Mr.. Lathrop's profess
sion was chosen for good.-New York
Graphic.

The home of a poor but respectable
colored women, at the corner of Sixteenth
and Central avenue, has been the scene of
much sickness the past month. The
mother and three children are very i'll
with pneumonia, and yesterday the baby
died, while the other members of the
family are near deaths door. The mother
is a hard worker when in health, doing
Homework by the day, and returning at
nightfall to her little.'ones. Heretofore she
has been able TO support herself and
children with a degree of comfort, but
since her sickness her hard earned means
have been exhausted. Kind neighbors
have assisted her. however, and Mrs.
Rabbit, president of the Ladies' Aid
Society, has provided medical aid, medi-
cines, and the necessaries of life. But
more should be done for the suffering
family by the people at large to make this
poor little household comfortable and sus-
tain its members during their days of sick
ness and convalescence. Let charitable
people on this Sabbath morning make a
special effort on behalf of this stricken
family, and let their offerings be sent to
Mrs. Rabbit, who will take charge of any
contributions for the benefit of these sui
ferers. THE LEADER is confident that
this simple statement will be the means of
bringing comfort and consolation to the
home Of a deserving mother and her help
less little ones.

A Young Man, While Dreaming. Nearly
~Strangles Himself.

Charles - and Harry -, two well
known young men of this city, are room
mates. An interesting and strange incl
dent is reported at the expense of Harry.
Friday night both were sleeping soundly
when Charley was suddenly awakened by
a gasping and gurgling sound at his side.
He listened a minute and the sound con-
tinued and with increased force; it seemed
to come from his companion. Charley
then arose, and turning on the light,
looked at his friend. His CONSERVATION
was great when he saw Harry almost
black in the face with his left hand
clasped tightly around his throat and his
right hand grasping the wrist of his left
and seemingly trying to make his lett
hand relax its grasp. Charley immediate
ly took Harry's hand away from his
throat and by further precautions soon
bad his friend all right again. Explana-
tons were then in order, and Harry told
his story. He had been dreaming that he
was fighting with someone, and that in
the struggle his opponent was choking
him and he was trying to take his hand
away from his throat when he was
awakened. He said that this was the
first time that anything of the sort had
ever occurred with him, and had it not
been for the opportune interference of his
friend it might have had a more serious
result. Charley has expressed fears for
his " safety in the future, and says if
Harry makes any more bad breaks, he
will move.
